Got $4M to spare? You can own Tim Lincecum’s Arizona mansion

When Tim Lincecum needed a crash pad during Spring Training, he chose something elaborate. And private. But now, because this Arizona mansion is for sale, you get to peek inside.

Built in 2003, the 11,028-square-foot sprawling affair rests between the Camelback and McDowell mountains, as well as the Sunset Hills. The resulting seclusion is belied by the fact that the property screams party: aside from the 4 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, there is a bar and theater with a huge viewing screen, an indoor half-basketball court with retractable batting cage and restaurant-style booths adjoining yet another entertainment/TV room, a splashy pool bedazzled by not one but two waterfalls, a Jacuzzi, an elevated sundeck and an outdoor kitchen/grill. Guests will be pleased to know that the garage offers parking for six.

Other amenities? This mansion has them all. Among the list: a wine cellar, a chef’s kitchen, tremendous luxury baths and a bedroom full of clouds. The location is close to Echo Canyon Park as well as several golf and country clubs should the new buyer be able to tear him/herself away from this house. You can see more photos and information at HomeSmart, the official listing homepage.

Property history

The home sold first for $3.4M. It went to market later in 2011 at $3.995M. Unable to fetch this price, it sold for that same magic number of $3.4M (presumably to Lincecum) in 2012. Today, the price shows another leap back up to $3,995,500. Perhaps this appreciation has something to do with the short-term tenancy of a certain San Francisco Giant pitcher?
